Deus Ex

 

Adam/Miller 

• Sugar Daddy - Multiple people accuse Adam of having a sugar daddy in canon.  What if they saw him with Miller?  Not only would it confirm the rumors, but I'd love to see Miller have to deal with the comments and the knowledge that this is how people are looking at the two of them!  Plus it would make the mutual pining even harder for them to fend off!
• Secret Relationship || Secret Relationship - Discovered by others - Would love to see what they have to go through to hide their relationship—or fail to hide it in the one case!  So many characters would have great reactions to discovering them together.  Mac, Chang, Smiley, Alex, and Sarif just to name a few!
• Undercover as Master/Slave || Undercover as a Couple || Interclass Relationship || Fakeout Makeout - Undercover as master/slave would lay all KINDS of discomfort on them.  And if undercover as a couple, they could face some bitter reminders of how differently the world views them.
• Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - Could be Adam has to live with Miller for awhile, could be they have to stay in some other location like a safe house!  Or maybe there's some sort of new aug law enforcement biochip meant to keep augmented officers kind of on a leash and it goes awry and Adam cannot move outside of ten feet from Miller without it shutting all his systems down, so he has to go live with him until the patch rolls out! :D
• Masquerade Ball - Infiltration - Masks!  Fancy costumes and formal wear!  High society intrigue!  What a great trope.  Feel free to get more of the team involved, they're all welcome.  Gasp, what if Adam runs into Page there?  O:  Clothing porn most welcome.  This is a great prompt for art, too!
• Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - I like the idea that Miller could get a touch possessive, and that Adam would probably snark at him about it.  Looking for a lighter touch on this one, rather than like abusive levels of jealousy.
• Dehumanization - I cannot get enough of people being dehumanizing to Adam in front of Miller.  Miller could step in on his behalf or they could be in a situation where they just have to take it or even where Miller has to support it for some reason!
• Sparring || Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring, Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another - I'm sure TF29 needs to make sure its agents are ready for close quarters and hand-to-hand combat with augs, and Adam is the perfect training tool!  The appeal of these physical prompts, to me, is all the proximity and touching, the chance to see them get their hands on one another and see what that does to them.  And with the sparring, I like the adrenaline and combativeness you can get, too.
• Self-Esteem Issues - Honestly could see this in either or both directions.  They're both so damaged in their own way and I do enjoy watching them fret about all the ways they may not be good enough!  In particular I like Adam's issues with his own body image, and anything in the vein of Miller being surprised someone as young and as hot as Adam is actually interested in him is equally welcome.
• Hurt/Comfort - Nightmare - Adam waking up in the middle of the night?  Adam avoiding sleep because he knows what waits for him?  Adam having a particularly bad run of nightmares because memories of his time on the surgery table after the attack on Sarif is hitting him hard at the moment?
• Hurt/Comfort - grudging acceptance of comfort - Oh man, either one of them is great for this.  Neither one of them likes to accept help.  Good chance for one of them to have a stern talk about the other's worth, how they need to think more of themselves, that they're worth it, etc.
• Pre-Canon One Night - Okay, I don't know how you'd manage it with them not having seen photos of each other by the time Adam makes it to Prague, but if there is a way, it would be fantastic to see them have to face each other after this! :D
• Protection - Smaller/Weaker Character Physically Protects Injured Larger/Stronger Character - Maybe Adam is depowered?  Maybe Miller is in a sniper perch and Adam is down there surrounded and injured and Miller has to take them out for him?  Maybe it's simply on the streets of Prague and Adam is facing some angry state police or citizens and Miller has to put himself between them?

 

Adam/Koller

• Friends to Lovers - Kind of a general one that can slot in with any of the others.  One of the things I like about Adam/Koller is that potential for a friendship, something Adam doesn't have a whole lot of!
• Protection - Character verbally defends someone who isn't standing up for themself || Under the Influence - Roofied by Stranger - Rescued by Love Interest || Big Damn Hero - These alllll stem from my desire to see Adam rescue Koller or stand up  for him in some way!  Mainly looking for Adam to be a stone cold badass on Koller's behalf!
• secret softy || Dissimilar Characters Geeking Out Together Over A Surprise Shared Interest - I SO want to see the first time Koller realized Adam was not the frightening killer he probably seems to be at first glance.  Unlike a layman, Koller would know exactly what those augs can do.  Adam must have been pretty scary to him at first!
• Handcuffed Together || Sharing a Bed - Turns into more || Sharing a Bed - Unplanned || Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - I grouped all these together just because this prompt hits literally all of them, but of course any are welcome separate or with another idea you might have!  Anyway, the prompt is that Koller is testing some kind of aug restraint, he and Adam get latched together with it, and now they're stuck together!  Showers, sleeping, they have to do it all while attached to each other!  I especially like the idea of Koller having to go to Adam's apartment because then you get the added bonus of someone in Adam's space, which he's not used to.
• Fakeout Makeout || Undercover as a Couple - Adam needs someone to help maintain his cover?  They have to infiltrate an aug-only space?
• Clubbing - What I love most about the potential in this setting is the pounding music, the press of bodies, the haze of smoke and sex.  Could also be the Red Queen, which opens up even more possibility, like private rooms and an even more sexually-charged atmosphere.
• Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another Person - I just love this trope, it's especially good for getting people like Adam physically into someone else's space!
• Hurt/Comfort - Bathing || Hurt/Comfort - Fainting || Hurt/Comfort - undressing || Hurt/Comfort - Wound Care - I would so enjoy to see Adam really laid out, badly injured, depowered maybe, his batteries drained, overclocked, etc.  Anything so that Koller has to be there in his apartment helping him out 24/7 for awhile!
• Getting Together - Falling In Love While A Teaches B a New Skill - Adam teaches Koller gun/knife/self defense skills, it turns sexy!

  

Adam/Mac

• Sudden Realization - Oh No They're Hot - I really want Mac to have this kind of moment over Adam, I think it would be both hilarious and hot.
• Sexual Teasing Leads to Turnabout Is Fair Play - I can absolutely see them playing a game of sexual chicken where neither one is willing to be the one who backs down first!
• Friends With Benefits - Maybe sneaking around so no one can find out?  With plenty of bickering?  And maybe some inconvenient feelings in the mix?
• Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - I love the idea of Adam being the training prop for the whole team!  Mac needs to know how to fight an aug, and Adam's the perfect sparring partner.
• Adrenaline Fueled Make-out - I feel like you could combine this with the sparring prompts, too, but it would also be great post-mission!
• Under the Influence - Getting Drunk Together || Drinking Games - I think they're on their way to being able to hang out with each other like this in canon!  I could totally see them heading to a bar, either alone or with the team.  Drink is had, words are said, Mac maybe gets a little handsy...
• Roommates - No Choice But to Be Roommates || Roommates to lovers - Would love to see them forced into the same space in such an intimate way!  Maybe with the prompt I mentioned for Miller, in which some control device for Adam goes wrong and he then must stay within a certain range of Mac, but of course I will love any and all excuses for making them room together!
• Undercover as a Couple || Fakeout Makeout - Fantastic way to get the ball rolling with these two.  I could see either or both of them laying it on real thick just to troll the other one!
• Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - NGL, I'm kinda digging Mac being possessive, even in a friends with benefits situation, and Adam going along with it because it's pretty hot.
• Dehumanization || Protection - Character verbally defends someone who isn't standing up for themself - Mac strikes me as the type who would not allow outsiders to talk to Adam even half as badly as Mac himself talks to him!
• Distracted Sex - While on the Phone - Nyahaha, Adam and Mac could be boning, right?  And Adam gets a call on his infolink (Miller?  Sarif?  Pritchard?) and Mac has fun trying to make Adam give away what they're doing and Adam has to try and hold it together with this person he's talking to while Mac has his fun. :D
• Hurt/Comfort - In an Isolated Location || Canadian Shack - I'm liking the notion of getting them away from everyone and everything else.  I think they'd have to deal with each other in a way they don't usually have a chance to because there's always someone else or something else that requires their focus.  This way, they could have each other's undivided attention.
• Hurt/Comfort - undressing - Get 'em naked!  :D
• Pre-Canon One Night Stand - Ohhh this one is cruel for these two.  Just imagine the two of them coming face to face at their first official meeting!  I think it combines well with a lot of the other prompts as well.

OVERWATCH

Reaper/Soldier . . . Reaper/Soldier/Ana

• Clubbing || Undercover as Bodyguard/Client || Undercover as a Couple - Infiltration and undercover in a club perhaps?  Maybe two of them could be undercover as a couple and the third could be posis their bodyguard!  Headcanons about who would actually go to a club, who is comfortable there and who is uncomfortable there most welcome.
  
• Back-To-Back Badasses - Ahhh, all their skills compliment each other so well!  I would love to see them facing down the odds together.
  
• Dancing Lessons || Dancing - Slow Dancing - :D :D :D Who's teaching who??  I cannot think of a combination here that I would not adore, surprise me!  Or pretty artwork of them dancing maybe?  :D
  
• Friends With Benefits - Could see it either for the pair or the trio!  
  
• Handcuffed Together - Could be just Gabe/Soldier, could be all three, OR could be any two of them while the third enjoys watching them try to navigate their predicament!
  
• Drinking Games - Again, would love headcanons here on who can hold their liquor and who can't.  Plus it's a great way to get them to cut loose and relax and see how they are outside of work.
  
• Fanservice - Torn clothing!  People caught out half naked!  Pin ups!  Tight clothing!
  
• Masquerade Ball - Infiltration - What an amazing trope for fic or art!  Who's wearing what?  Who is right at home in the setting and who feels out of their element?  Any other members of the team also welcome!
  
• Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - Just as all their skills compliment each other really well, so too are they uniquely vulnerable to each other in various ways.  You've got a close, mid, and long range specialist right here.  Maybe the other two need to keep their hand-to-hand skills up and there's no better than Gabe to practice against.  Maybe there's a bet in place?  Maybe one of them unexpectedly gets the upper hand?  Maybe they've been pining for awhile and all the physical contact finally sends them over the edge?
  
• Sexual Teasing Leads to Turnabout Is Fair Play || Workplace Sex - Yep, I could see this in any combination.  Reaper and Soldier especially I could see a friendly rivalry spilling over into this!
  
• Vacation - Gone Wrong || Trapped together - snowed in - Seeing them out in a completely different setting than the watchpoints or out of the field would be such a treat.  Who has trouble relaxing out on vacation?  Who is pressuring the other(s) to relax?  Who's looking sexy in a hot tub and enticing the other(s) in?
  

Genji/Mercy

• Bathing - Bath Sex - Shower, bathtub, hot tub, even a pool...all excellent choices!
  
• Big Damn Hero || Protection - Larger/Stronger Character Physically Protects Smaller/Weaker Character  - I saw this clip once of Mercy being frozen by Mei, and her Genji swift striking in right in front of her and deflecting the icicle away right before it could kill her and that's the kind of thing that was on my mind for these tropes!  Basically Genji being a heroic badass for Mercy!  One thing I love about them is Genji's past as a ruthless killer (like in his Blackwatch days) and how he might use those skills in a more positive way, to save her.
  
• Charity Auctions - One Date || Charity Auctions - "Slave" for a Day - Mercy is in a charity auction, and Genji surprises her by bidding and winning her!  I think this one is particularly fun if they're not in an established relationship yet.
  
• Clothing Damage || Handcuffed Together || Kissing After Falling on/Straddling Another Person - What I love about these is that they're all perfect ways to get them to face their feelings if they've been pining or flirting for awhile!  They could be ways to make them acknowledge just how powerfully they are attracted to one another!
• Getting Together - Falling In Love While A Teaches B a New Skill || Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring - Genji teaching Mercy some advanced self defense or knifework, or just insisting that she needs to spar on the regular to keep her skills sharp, and it turns into more!
• One carrying the other - While the other is injured/sick/unconscious || One carrying the other - Bridal/Princess Style - I love this one as an artwork prompt!  And I think it could be Genji or Mercy being the one who'd carried, too.
  
• Pining - Believes themself unworthy of their love - This one hit me for Genji, given everything he's been through and how he feels about himself.  He's in a good place now, in the current day of the game, but he clearly went through a time when he felt bad about his past, and also a time when he struggled to accept the changes to his own body.
  
• Touch-Starved - Genji!  I could see him going through a long period post-cyborg body where he was not touched for quite awhile.
  
• Trapped together - snowed in - Looking for something ultimately cozy and indulgent!  Firelight and isolation and just the two of them with no one to bother them and nowhere to go. ♥

The Evil Within 
 

Sebastian/Ruvik

• Badass in Distress || Hurt/Comfort - Comforter is the One Who Hurt Them || Physical Fight Leading to Sex || Physical Fighting Leads to Making Out || Torture || torture aftermath || Obsessive Love - Love to Hurt You - I quite simply cannot get enough of Ruvik's fixation on Sebastian, and how that fixation expresses itself in torment and torture.  Lean into how fucked up it is, I'm all on board for Ruvik communicating his feelings through inflicting pain.  Something taking place at any point in the timeline is welcome.  Early in Ruvik's fascination, when he's more just playing with Seb?  Much later, after Sebastian has been given intimate knowledge of Ruvik's life?  Likewise, I welcome a more balanced encounter where Sebastian has the resources to fight back or a situation where Ruvik is entirely in control.
• Bonding Over Shared Trauma - Maybe they had a quiet, raw moment amid all the carnage where they commiserated briefly over fire and loss?
  
• Clubbing - Post-game, Seb has tracked Ruvik-in-Leslie's-body and it has lead him to some club where Ruvik has been hiding out and victimizing people?  I'm just really digging the possibility of seeing Ruvik in this setting.  It's so different from anything in the game or anything he's experienced before.
  
• Identity Porn - Identity Reveal || Identity Porn - Secret Identity - Ruvik poses as Leslie to get close to Sebastian or even to get intimate with him!  Post-game maybe?  Anything underscoring Ruvik's fixation and hang-up on Seb in particular is great.
  
• Jealousy/Possessiveness in Romantic/Sexual Relationships - Ruvik-in-Leslie's-body stalking Seb post-game?  Maybe getting possessive when he sees Stefano giving Seb so much attention?
  
• Masquerade Ball - Yesssss, a grotesque masquerade within the serial killer mindscape that is Ruvik's STEM!!  Give me the masquerade from Labyrinth, but cast in all of this horror and mind rape and obsession and pain!  Bring in any other characters you like, either the actual characters or just their visages to haunt Sebastian.  Oooh, this one could pair well with the identity porn prompts, too.  Good opportunities to use the Leslie body stealing element, too, which is one of my favorite things.  AND it's a great prompt for artwork, too!
  
• Roaring Rampage of Rescue - I would love to see Ruvik go bananas homicidal to save Sebastian.  Maybe from Stefano?
  
• Villain Wins || Villain Wins - Working for/with Villain || Never Be the Same Again - After Character Survived Their Adventures/Ordeal - Turn Seb into a broken, worshipful creature in a post-canon world under Ruvik's control.  Or have them working together against Mobius!

XCOM

Bradford . . . Bradford/Commander

• Back-To-Back Badasses || Battle Couple - Bradford out there with the Commander's avatar, getting shit done!
  
• Badass in Distress  - I just love seeing Bradford in trouble, maybe pinned down by gunfire, maybe stranded alone and having to take down a bunch of enemies by himself!  Or maybe getting strangled by a Viper!  Or captured!
  
• Clothing Damage || Covered with Scars || Fanservice - Bradford got so hot with his older character model in the second game! :D Sexy artwork most welcome.  Fic-wise, how about some young rookies getting a glimpse of a half-naked Bradford and getting all hot and bothered for him??
  
• Drinking Games || Team Bonding - He never gets to have fun.  Let him have fun.  (But not too much.  Some grumbling angst is always on the table for Bradford!)
  
• Everyone Thinks They're Together || Everyone Thinks They're Pining  || Secret Relationship - Any glimpse into what the rumor mill THINKS is going on with Bradford and the Commander versus what is actually going on is welcome!  I never did settle on an appearance or gender for my Commander, so feel free to surprise me!
  
• Loyalty - Rescue - Bradford's loyalty and faith in the Commander is definitely a huge draw to the pairing for me.  Maybe go into the moment he realized the Commander was still alive?  The emotional upheaval of that and Bradford's determination to get them back?  Or maybe the immense relief after the rescue and after it's clear that the Commander will be okay, those hours or days Bradford spent by their bedside waiting for them to wake up.
  
• Overworker - Burning the Candle at Both Ends || Whump - Suffering looks so good on Bradford!
  
• Physical Fight Leading to Sex - Sparring || Sparring - He and the Commander could spar, or he could even spar with the avatar!  Or if not a pairing scenario, he could be sparring with some of his soldiers (and maybe they're distracted because some of them have got it bad for their CO.)
• Power Outage - Great prompt, so filled with potential!  Could be tense or light-hearted even, Bradford stumbling around in the dark but not in a dire scenario.  Could be on the Avenger or could be part of an ambush in a downed UFO or in some warehouse!
  
• Torture - Video Shown to Friends - Maybe Bradford was captured at some point and the aliens kept a record of everything they did to him and someone in the crew or even the Commander happens to come across those videos. D:
